We spent a week. Our first trip to the vineyard. Owner was beyond helpful, from tips re restaurants to things to do and see, where to rent bikes and chairs, and also helping us with the car ferry. Home was lovely for our family, clean and spacious. We can't wait to rent again.

The house lived up to its description and we were not disappointed. It had plenty of space for all of us to spread out and not be in each other's way. The view from the top deck was amazing and we enjoyed our cocktails up there in the evening. I have traveled to the Vineyard every summer for several years now and have always enjoyed running or riding my bike through the Katama bay area and staying there was such a treat.

This is a very comfortable house in an excellent location... walking distance to south beach. Air conditioners worked well, and the decks were lovely to use. We had a couple of meals outside and enjoyed them very much. We set up a volleyball net in the backyard... plenty of room. Gas grill made cookouts easy. Plenty of trash barrels and recycling barrels as well. We had one nice evening dinner with 25+ people, and the house handled it all very well. Excellent internet speeds, and TV was internet connected so there was plenty of choice. Washer/dryer worked fine. Pictures in the listing were accurate. Linens were comfortable, and not having to bring bath towels (supplied) or beach towels (10 were supplied) was great. Location is also just a half block from the bike path (along a dirt road), so perfect for those that like biking/jogging/rollerblading. There is also a kayak/canoe/etc entry point to Katama bay just around the corner, with parking. Barb is an excellent owner, helping with our every request, and alerting us when we had left a bathing suit behind (even offering to mail it to us).

We stayed at this home with my family of six and my sister's family with kids ages 11-26! There were tons of bedrooms and great spaces to hang out. The location was fabulous - a ten minute walk to the beach or a 15 minute bike ride to town. We cooked great family dinners and played lots of games at night. Barb was a fabulous host who got back to me quickly with any questions or needs that I had. Would definitely recommend!

Three Weeks and Still Not Enough!

Three Weeks and Still Not Enough!

We were hesitant about doing a vacation at all this year because of COVID but our nearly 3-week stay in Barb’s house ended up being one of the best we have had! We were considering renting a house at the Winnetu resort when we found Barb's wonderful family home and we are so happy we did! The house is close to the Winnetu and yet a whole different world in terms of tranquility and seclusion. Communication with the delightful property manager Don and owner Barb was excellent, to the extent it became a major factor affecting our decision. Working with them made us comfortable that the owners had good screening protocols in place and cared about mitigating COVID as much as we did. They were kindly helping to address all of our concerns around bed linen, cleaning and more. The location on a quiet lane in Katama is unbeatable. Just a few minutes’ walk or bike ride from the beach, Katama Farm, airpark and with the bike path to Edgartown around the corner. We could run on the beach to Chappy before breakfast! We also took our car out on the beach at Norton Point several days. The house is so conveniently close that you can deflate tires to drive on the sand at home, instead of doing it in the crowd at the Norton Point entrance. If the line is long to refill air on the way back, you can drive home and return later in the evening. The house has been beautifully refurbished with modern floors and furniture, combined with select charming older accent pieces. The huge decks are lovely and two large awnings provide good shade if needed. The hammock was an immediate hit with our kids! Beds were splendid in terms of comfort. We had a heat wave come in for several days and slept well with fans in the bedrooms. The kitchen has not been renovated but it is so functional and well-equipped that we immediately felt at home. Anything you could have asked for was there and more! The electric stove was unbelievably powerful. The house was perfect size for us. It never felt too big for our family of five, nor crowded when my brother's family joined and we were 9 in total. Including the one outdoors, there were no less than five showers to choose from! In summary, we had a fabulous stay at this Katama gem! Barb's responsiveness was stellar throughout and we loved learning more about the house and its owners. We felt truly privileged to have been welcomed into this wonderful home and family operation. Thank you Barb, Don and the whole Thorpe/Emery family!

This property has the perfect location, it is within a short walk to the South Beach, and a 15-minute bike ride to Edgartown, we also really enjoy the amazing sunset view at the nearby Katama Farm. The host (Barbara) is very helpful in providing information about the house, the town, and really makes the trip totally worry-free. I will strongly recommend this property.
